There’s a moment just as you’re falling asleep where, in your subconscious, you trip or stumble or knock your head, and your body jerks reactively. This is called a ‘myoclonic twitch‘; and inevitably wakes you up from your slumber.

In recent years, it has felt like Corporate South Africa has been asleep to the online world, but we’ve noticed a sudden awakening to our dark and mysterious world of Web Marketing. World Wide Creative have now started working with some of South Africa’s biggest corporate names, consulting on areas such as Social Media, Online Advertising and Search Engine Marketing. As if experiencing a simultaneous myoclonic twitch, it appears as if Marketing Managers, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs have all woken up and are climbing on to the internet  bandwagon – often not really knowing what they’re doing, or how to go about it.

And so, it is with great excitement that we announce the speaker for the  August Heavy Chef Session.

Rob Stokes is the CEO of Quirk eMarketing, and will be presenting a Session entitled: ‘Introduction to eMarketing’.

Rob is one of the foremost thinkers on the topic, and has recently co-authored the book ‘eMarketing: The Essential Guide to Online Marketing‘ Rob’s company has been in the industry for 10 years, a lifetime, and we greatly respect their expertise as leaders in highly specialised field. This presentation is essential for anyone wanting to enter into the online marketing world, or build their understanding of the basics of Web Marketing.
